Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2388982A2] A method may include scanning, by a portable device, information from a storage unit of the portable device to change a color gradient on a surface of a single-pixel display attached to a housing of the portable device. In addition, the method may include detecting, by the portable device, a change in state of the portable device and sending a square wave signal or sine wave signal to the single-pixel display when the information provides for sending the slow-changing square wave or sine wave in response to the detected change in state of the portable device. Further, the method may include changing the illumination, color, or color gradient in accordance with the square wave signal or the sine wave signal.
